Oregon to Receive $19.6 Million to Stabilize Neighborhoods

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program, a component of the Housing and Recovery Act of 2008, was passed in late July by Congress to provide emergency assistance to communities for acquisition and redevelopment of foreclosed properties that might be abandoned and cause neighborhood blight. More specifically, the funding is to purchase and rehabilitate, resell or redevelop foreclosed or abandoned homes and residential properties in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of home values.
